of Ja DR. I. IYENAGA SAYS SITUA TION IS MORE SERIOUS THAN IN CALIFORNIA CONGESTION HURTS Japanese Professor of History in Chicago Addresses Men at Dinner at Plaza. New York.-Thc fuilure of Ameri cana to understand '.the position of Japan In the far cast is likely to result in a mor<; serious situation than that randed by the "Japan-California controversy," Dr. I. lyenaga, profes sor of history at thc l'nlversity of Chlcugo, told prominent Americans and Japanese at a dinner elven at th? Hotel Pinza by Major George Haven Putham, Charles A. Coffin, Lindsay russell, and Krflerson McMillin. The ?linjier was thc occasion of bringing ont a book '.America to Japan." which ls a companion volume lo "Japan to America," which was published several mouths ago. The first volume contained appreciations of this country by many eminent Jap anese, and the book which came out last night is a cordial reciprocation containing contributions upon Japan from many well-known Americans. The speeches by Americans who pre ceded Dr. Iyenaga were all In a ton of great admiration to Japan. "After all the golden words for Japan which I have heard from so many distinguished Americans." ho said, "I don't know if lt Is'rlght for me to speak bluntly, but the chairman has asked me to spcag, ahd U would he discourteous of me to remain silent-. Even nt the height of the Californla japauese controversy, that affair ap ne?j?d to P'o ajj Jean ^serious th.au th?, mailer which luis ne'en before ua ii: the past few wacks. Until Japan and America come lo a better understand ing and until Americans sec and ap predate she position of Japan in thc far east. I am afraid that it will bc ;; little more serious than at present. You know that Japan is onl" about one-half the size of Texas ? ban a population about two-thirds - that ot tho I'nited States. Now what are wo going to do? How ls our nation going to continue to exist in so small a ter ritory? We" are advCsed to promole, industries aud create wealth. We aro doing that LS well as we tau, put our resources ure limited. "I hope that upon this question wo will receive thc counsel of American friends which has been of great bene fit to us boforc. Japan intonda to re main tile best friend of Chijia,' to bo. mrc. It will bein China: China v/ili henefit, so will Japan, and co will tho United States. I hope thal v??u will help us in solving this groat problem. What is thc best attitude for us to take toward China? What policy is tho beat for us in thc,Jar cast?" Ex-Governor John Franklin Fort of New Jersey compared thc attitude of Japan in the Far cast to that which wo had taken toward the ' western hemisphere in proclaiming tho Monroe, Doctrine, and said that he believed Japan Would have the sympathy of Ihr? United States In following a policy i which seemed nt present to bc. that which the United States had aken lYo similar, circumstances.. Denn C. Worcester^ ox-Govurnr General of the Philippines, said that j lhere was such a thing.as tyranny by ono nations over another, and such ? thing as one nation helping, another. Ho said that an example of the latter policy was our control of thc Philip pines, t He said that lt was "necessary to ob tain a thorough knowledge of'thc facta before reaching any conclusions re garding Japan's policy, and added that our relations with Japan bad suffered through thc prevailing ignorance in this country regarding that'empire.. -Every-week-he-had one?-again to-klli ( Continued on page ten.)

The invitations wore issued i tho names of Nicholas Murray Hut r, Breck Trowbridge, Walter B. aynnrd, Elihu Root, Profeaaoi Hich '1 Idvoraky I'upln, and Willard D. tralght. "In August there was an Austro ungarian proclamation to thc sol lora," said Mr. Trevelyan in the mrse of his uddroBB, "saying tho ?srba wore a race of murderers, and real severity was to bo shown them. ro ?Io not know Just what measures [ severity were reconrfhended, but 0 know tho results.

Mr. Trevelyan referred to various fleers reports of atrocities that had ?en made and then read snmn which 3 had investigated himself. His ita included tho name? of families ie members of which had boen lock 1 in their homes and burned alive, ie of the victima being a thrco-day kl infant.

"The present epidemic of typhus In erbla," said Mr. Trevelyan In the nurse cd his ?peech, "is directly duo > the Austrian atrocities. During ie drat Austrian invasion Into Ser ia In August the natives of Serbia layod on tholr"1farm8 because they lought tho Austrians were a clvljji rl people.

They said they did not want to be tortured and kilted by the Austrians as their . countrymen had been during the first Invasion. So you see they would not have left If,the Austrlsns had acted like peo ple in the nineteenth century when they went to war. In the nineteenth century they did not commit atroci ties on helpless civilians, but tn this twentieth century we have advanced to the point where we do. "As a result of the precipitate flight of nil these people from the invad- , ed territory down into South Serbia, wc have 500,000 refugees planted on that territory. Therefore everything ls overcrowded and most distressing conditions prevail. In every house there are three or four times as many person8 as it ought to hold. These people are .crowded In with a lack of proper sanitary conditions. They have no fresh articles Of apparel to replace what ls contaminated. Under such conditions typhus, once started, runs riot Especially is this so be cause when the war broke out there were only 400 doctors io Serbia* and they were all taken Into the service of the army. One hundred of them have already- died of typhus. "Serbia produces nothing but food and agricultural products. Manufac tures, hospital supplies, tents, Cloth ing; and anything that ls needed for preventing the spread of typhus must .i come to her from Western Europe.
